Performing arts in the Haliburton Highlands - there must be something in the water!
With 600 lakes in the County there is no shortage of water. Nor is there a shortage of music to “wet” one’s appetite for live performances. During the period of May -September 2023 there were over 175 concerts in our community. More recently, the County’s live entertainment calendar revealed 61 concerts between January 24 to April 20, 2024. That is a lot of music for a County that has only 18,000 permanent residents. When that number triples in the summer months there is still an ample supply to quench our seasonal visitor’s thirst for entertainment. One can find music in all corners of the Haliburton Highlands - rock, blues, country, folk, classical, opera and jazz in a variety of venues.
Barrie Martin of the Haliburton County Folk Society will wade into the reasons
